9. A block is resting on a horizontal plane and is intended
to be pulled with a force acting at an angle to the
horizontal, as shown in Figure Q9. The block weight
30 kN and has a coefficient of friction of 0.2. Write a
program to calculate the magnitude of the force (F)
needed to pull the block at different angles (),
between 10 and 80 degree in 10-degree increments.
Write the result to a file named ANSWER.dat.
Note: You must use at least one function for
calculation, other than main function.

Modify your program in question 8(a), which allows the user to enter the block
weight (weight_block), coefficient of friction (coe_friction) and increments angle
(inc_angle). The program also prints the result on the screen.

10. A moving car is being braked at constant acceleration. Compute whether or not
the car has come to a complete halt. The program should fulfill the following
requirements:
a) Read the initial velocity (v
0
), acceleration (a) which is negative to
represent braking and amount of braking time (t
0
) from the keyboard.
b) Determine whether the car has completely stopped or is still moving with a
final velocity (v
1
). Print the statement The car has come to a complete
stop or the final velocity on the screen.
c) If the car is complete stop, determine the distance (s
0
) traveled by the car
before completely stopping after the brake has being applied. Print the
result on the screen.
d) If the car still travels with the final velocity (v
1
), calculate the required time
(t
1
) and distance (s
1
) to stop the car completely and print the result on the
screen. Assuming the acceleration is constant.
e) Program should includes a loop that lets the user to repeat the
computation for new input values until the user says he or she wants to
end the program.

in which the motorcycle is in depends on the velocity as shown in table. Write a
program which is able to have a user input an acceleration and the riding time.
Also, determine which gear the motorcycle is in at that time and limit the
maximum velocity to 100 km/hr. Print the velocity and the gear number to the
screen. For any velocities that are on the border of a gear change, use the
higher gear. The program must use the following decision making structure:
